Lib Dem Pre-Manifesto 10 point Plan - Debate post

I have put the 10 point plan in the sidebar (blogroll). I have also copied it below. If we find that there is a particular debate about any specific item then I will put in a specific entry for that.

    Top ten reasons to vote Liberal Democrat
  • Put patients first - free doctors and nurses from Whitehall meddling.
  • Free personal care when you need it – no one forced to sell their home to pay for care.
  • No tuition fees, no top-up fees – university affordable for every student.
  • More investment in children’s early years – spend the £1 billion Child Trust Fund money when it matters most.
  • 10,000 more police on the streets – cutting crime and the fear of crime.
  • £25 more on the pension every week at 75 – a million pensioners off means-testing.
  • Free off-peak local transport – for all pensioners and disabled people.
  • Axe the Council Tax – Local Income Tax is both fair and affordable.
  • We should not have gone to war in Iraq – it’s time to restore trust in the Government.
  • Take the environment seriously - cut pollution, cut congestion, and boost renewable energy.

These are taken from the printed version of the pre-manifesto document. For more details, see the full document and conference motion (links above).

Trudiagnostic change PACE leaderboard algorithm - was in position 40, now position 44 - does it matter?

Trudiagnostic have changed the way they handle the Rejuvenation Olympics Leaderboard algorithm. The result of this initially was that I was globally no 40 and have now dropped to 44. Trudiagnostic are a US company that get samples of blood and they look at the DNA to see which parts of the DNA have methyl groups (CH3) attached to them. These modifications to DNA are called methylation markers. DunedinPACE is an algorithm which uses DNA methylation markers in white blood cells to work out how quickly or slowly someone is aging. I had three results on this. The odd thing about the results was that whilst my epigenetic age calculated from the same methylation markers was going down, the speed at which I was aging was going up. I find this somewhat counterintuitive. It is, however, I think relevant that in a global contest my approach on biochemistry which is quite different to many other people's does seem to keep up with others working in the same area. To that extent it...
